SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent N0. 774,259, dated November 8, 1904.

Application filed pril 14, 1904.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, ABBOT AUGUSTUS Low, a citizen of the United States, residing at Horseshoe, St. Lawrence county, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Holders, of which the following is a specification sufficient to enable others skilled in the art to which the invention appertains to make and use the same.

My improvements relate to devices for holding and presenting in position for convenient use desk implements and supplies; and it consists in the construction and arrangement of parts herein described, and claimed specifica y.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved holder; Fig. 2, a plan of the same; Fig. 3, a vertical section upon plane of line 3 3, Fig. 2. Fig. lis a front elevation of my adjustable auxiliary holder removed from position, the central portion being broken away; Fig. 5, a top view of the parts shown in Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a perspective View of one of my spring-holders. Fig. 7 is a transverse section of the same,taken just above the spacing-finger.

B is the base, of any desired construction, to which is secured the holder H, consisting of the standards it it and bent metal plates 72, if, between which are the compartments 2' '11 2 In front of the plate 71 is the corrugated plate J, formed with the receivers jj for the reception of pens, pencils, and other.implements, as in structures of this character heretofore devised by me, the novelty in this respect in the present instance consisting in forming the spacing-fingers f of the springholders F in the shape of a rectangular tri angle, as will be understood by reference to Figs. 6 and 7, for the purpose of forcing the Serial No. 203,135. No model.)

implement inserted between the front guard G and the spring-holder F over against the side wall of the receiver, as shown at the extreme left hand in Fig. 2.

The distinguishing feature of the invention consists in the use of my auxiliary adjustable holder A, attached temporarily to the back of the case by means of flanges a, fitting in Vertical grooves k if, as will be seen by reference to Fig. 2. The flanges a are formed with notches or recesses 64 for the reception of the ends of spring-detents (Z (Z, secured to a stationary part of the holder. These detents (Z cl allow the auxiliary holder to be raised or lowered forcibly, but hold it in any prescribed position when released. A partition a? divides the auxiliary holder A into two compartments (0 a, the latter being closed in front by back plate 7L when the auxiliary holder A is in place. i The compartments a cf are designed for the accommodation of writing-paper, envelops, or any other material which it is desired to store in convenient position for withdrawal for use.

The circle w shown at the upper right hand of Fig. 1 represents an opening to reveal the dial of a watch placed in the compartment W.

That I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a holder of the character designated, a series of receptacles for holding desk implements, each provided with a retaining-spring each of which is formed with a spacing-finger in the shape of a rectangular triangle, for the purpose set forth.

ABBOT AUGUSTUS LOW.
